Gophers add 2 recruits for next year's class

Last update: November 12, 2009 - 5:54 AM

The Minnesota men's basketball has added two more recruits for next season.

Wednesday was signing day for national letters of intent. The Gophers will give scholarships to 6-foot-11 center Elliott Eliason and 6-foot-4 shooting guard Austin Hollins.

Coach Tubby Smith is still recruiting for next year's class, so there could be more. The Gophers will lose three seniors from the current team, small forward Damian Johnson and shooting guards Lawrence Westbrook and Devron Bostick.

Eliason is from Chadron, Neb.

Hollins is from Germantown, Tenn. He's the son of Memphis Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins.

The Gophers open the regular season on Friday against Tennessee Tech.
